I'm redesigning a site and I have questions regarding how the use of
<cfapplication> and <cfinclude> affects performance.
1. I have a drop-down navigation in a top frame. I would like to put the
graphics in the nav to change according to the section the user is in and am
wondering about how my alternatives affect load time.
a. For each navigation element use an if-else. If user is in
directory A show {graphicA_on} else {graphicA_off}. If user is in directory
B show {graphicB_on} else (graphicB_off}.
b. Use <cfapplication>
2. Each page has a hardcoded left-side navigation with each page having the
corresponding link highlighted. Of course this leads to maintenance
problems. I would like to use
if this.document.url = url then X else Y in an include file or
cfapplication file.
The coding is simple. I'm concerned about performance. How does much does
this if-elses and includes slow things down? On average there are 20,000
page hits/day.
TIA
